The '''Lambda Serpentis system''' is a planetary system known colloquially as '''Jericho'''. Lambda Serpentis was formerly the location of at least one of the [[human]]ity's [[Human colonies|colonies]], [[Jericho VII]].<ref name="forp">''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Prologue</ref>

==History==
In [[2535]], the [[Covenant]] invaded the system and attacked the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Jericho VII]]. Even though the [[United Nations Space Command]] deployed [[Spartan-II]]s to help [[Battle of Jericho VII|defend Jericho VII]], the human defenses were overwhelmed and the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}}

Around September [[2552]], a massive [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] of Covenant [[warship]]s was ordered to travel to the Lambda Serpentis system to collect [[tritium]] gas for their reactors in preparation to rendezvous with ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' at the [[Hawking system]] before embarking on a mass [[slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]] in the [[Sol system]].<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 21</ref>

==Trivia==
''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' erroneously describes the system as having two reddish suns. This may indicate that the Jericho and Lambda Serpentis systems were not originally intended to be synonymous.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}}

It is unknown what happened to the forces in the Lambda Serpentis System after the end of the covenant, if the forces were composed of mostly grunts, jackals, brutes, drones, and hunters this planet would become a loyalist base but if the majority was made of elites it would become a seperatist base but this cannot be confirmed.
